Mario Paint (thing)

Mario Paint was a bit unique for a console game. (Hell, it still is now) Instead of a 'game', per se, it was more of a simpledrawing program. In it were drawing tools (All accented with odd sound effects), a music tool (With a rather odd set of instruments... think MIDI with Mario characters if it helps), and a simple 4- to 9-frame animation tool. For its time, it was a rather interesting program; you could play around with a drawing program without shelling out thousands of dollars for a professional PC-based program. By today's standards, of course, it wouldn't hold a candle to much of anything, but it was interesting in its day.
